Answer:

x = 8 or

x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

<h2><em>Completing The Square</em><em>:</em></h2>

x² - 6x - 16 = 0

Here,

a = 1

b = -6

c = -16

Now,

x² - 6x + [6/2(1)]² - [6/2(1)]² - 16 = 0

x² - 6x + (6/2)² - (6/2)² - 16 = 0

x² - 6x + (3)² - (3)² - 16 = 0

(x - 3)² - 9 - 16 = 0

(x - 3)² - 25 = 0

(x - 3)² = 25

x - 3 = +-√25

x - 3 = +- 5

x = 3 +- 5

x = 3 + 5 or x = 3 - 5

<em><u>x = 8 or x = -2</u></em>

Hope it's helpful

Solve the inequality: (x+3)(x−4)&lt;−12
melamori03 [73]

Answer:

0<x<1

Step-by-step explanation:

(x+3)(x−4)<−12

FOIL

x^2 -4x+3x -12 <-12

x^2 -x -12 <-12

Add 12 to each side

x^2 -x -12+12 <-12+12

x^2 -x <0

Factor out an x

x(x-1) <0

Using the zero product property

x(x-1) =0

x=0  x-1=0

x=0  x=1

Check the ranges

x<0

x(x-1) <0        

- * - >0

False

0<x<1

x(x-1) <0        

+ * - <0

True

x>1

x(x-1) <0        

+ * + >0

False
